name nor use the Affiliate membership within their own marketing, such
as on letterheads, business cards or brochures.

Corporate Sponsor
If an individual or organisation wishes to demonstrate a higher level
of support than is offered through the Affiliate Membership category,
then AILA would encourage you to approach the National Office about becoming
a Sponsor.
Sponsors have available to them all the
benefits of Affiliate Membership plus may use the term “Australian
Institute of Landscape Architects Sponsor” in their advertising
and publicity materials.
Sponsors receive a level of recognition within
AILA commensurate to the level of sponsorship. Please contact the National
Office for details on the various grades of Sponsorship.
